    I know William Harrison was the shortest serving US president. 31 days I think before he died. No idea if he was worldwide shortest.

    Always remember this one for the name. Stuck in my head due to him being governor of Texas (Houston) and carrying the quintessential American idol name of Uncle Sam.

    Sam Houston - Governor of Tennessee and Texas

    So I guess they were either assassinated, overthrown or died of stagefright when being sworn in. That points towards Latin America or Africa for me, but who and where are the basic facts I'm struggling with:pac:
